Did you know that you can download sounds and sound effects from our Clipart.com for Schools subscription? These sounds are great to use in SMART Notebook lesson activities, but they are all in the WAV format, and SMART Notebook really only likes the MP3 format. How do you convert them? EASILY of course!
Using Audacity, you simply open the sound file you have saved from the clipart site. You then use the Export feature to save it as an MP3. If you’ve ever recorded student voices, the Export feature is old hat! Do you need to see this in action? I thought so–look at the video below for help!
By the way, when you log into http://schools.clipart.com at school, the clipart site is ready to use, but from home you need the user name and password. You can find them in First Class by going to District Conferences, then K-6 Technology, and opening the Websites for Teachers file.
